Madden's  Stallion  Kccord. 


BBOTT  348,  b.  h.  foaled  18  69.  Bred  by  H.  S.  Russell.  Boston, 
2k  Mass.  Sired  by  Tattler  300  (which  see);  dam  Molly  D.  (also 
known  as  Norfolk  Belle),  by  Mambrino  Chief  11;  2nd  dam 
by  imported  Envoy.  Abbott  started  twice  in  1878.  At  Orono, 
Maine,  he  finished  second  to  lona  2:51*  and  at  Portland,  Me., 
he  was  distanced  in  a  third  heat  in  2:36  by  Emery  Fearnaught. 
He  sired  Kitty  Abbott  2:26%  and  one  of  his  daughters  produced 
Malabar  2:  21 14.  His  dam  also  produced  Smuggler's  Daughter 
2:25.  The  failure  of  Abbott  as  a  sire  was  on  a  par  with  prac- 
tically all  of  the  horses  carrying  the  Pilot,  Jr. -Mambrino  Chief 
cross  without  a  line  to  Hambletonian  10. 

AIJBOTTSFORD  707,  b.  h.  foaled  1872.  Bred  by  J.  W.  Knox,  Pitts- 
burg, Pa.  Sire  Woodford  Mambrino  345  (which  see);  dam  Colum- 
bia, by  Young  Columbus  95;  2nd  dam  by  Harris'  Hambletonian  2. 
J.  W.  Knox  said  he  bought  Columbia  to  breed  to  Woodford  Mam- 
brino because  she  was  a  cold  blooded  mare  of  a  trotting  family. 
She  was  double  gaited  and  had  a  French  make-up.  Abbottsford 
trotted  to  a  record  of  2:191/^,  and  was  her  fastest  foal,  but  she 
also  produced  the  pacer  Dido  2:23i/4  (dam  of  Redondo  2: 26  14); 
Abbess  (dam  of  Brandolien  2:28%),  and  Maud  (dam  of  Cali- 
fornia Lambert  2:27).  According  to  Chester,  Abbottsford  made 
his  first  start  as  a  two-year-old  at  Pittsburg,  being  distanced  in 
a  third  heat  by  the  Woodford  Mambrino  mare  Lady  McFatridge. 
He  was  finished  second  to  Joe  Lytle  in  a  race  at  Beaver,  Pa.,  be- 
fore being  shipped  to  California,  where  the  balance  of  his  races 
were  trotted,  and  where  he  won  seven  firsts,  four  seconds  and 
one  fourth  out  of  twelve  starts.  His  record  of  2:19%  was  made 
over  the  Bay  District  track,  at  San  Francisco  in  the  last  race  in 
which  he  took  the  word,  and  which  he  won  after  a  six  heat  con- 
test. Abbottsford  stood  for  service  in  California  and  Kentucky. 
He  sired  thirteen  trotters,  Poindexter  2:09  and  She  2:12%  being 
the  fastest,  and  three  pacers.  Five  of  his  sons  sired  fourteen 
performers,  and  fourteen  of  his  daughters  produced  twenty-three 
with  records.  His  family  is  disappearing  like  practically  all  that 
are  short  in  the  maternal  lines. 

ABDALIjAH  (Goldsmith's)  164,  b.  h.  foaled  1863.  Bred  by  Edwin 
Thorne,  Millbrook,  N.  Y.  Sire  Volunteer  55;  dam  Martha,  by 
Abdallah   1;    2nd  dam  by  Conklin's  Bellfounder,  son  of  imported 


Bellfounder;  3rd  dam  by  Corncracker;  4th  dam  by  Hickory. 
Edwin  Thorne  named  this  horse  Dictator,  and  sold  him  to  Elihu 
Griffin.  He  changed  it  to  Bellfounder  Hambletonian,  while  Alden 
Goldsmith  again  changed  it  to  Abdallah,  to  which  the  word  Gold- 
smith's was  subsequently  prefixed,  to  distinguish  him  from  Ab- 
dallah, the  sire  of  his  dam.  This  horse  was  taken  to  Racine,  Wis., 
in  1866,  where  he  made  two  seasons  on  the  farm  of  Richard  Rich- 
ards. While  there,  he  got  Alexander,  his  most  successful  son, 
Alexander  Boy,  and  Shadow,  as  well  as  Dictator  2:27,  Hickory 
2:27%,  Minnie  Crawford  (dam  of  three  in  2:30),  and  Lady  Ellen 
(dam  of  Mary  Sprague  2:21).  In  1869,  Goldsmith's  Abdallah 
was  back  in  Orange  County,  N.  Y.,  and  was  raced  in  187  2  and 
In  1873,  when  he  made  a  record  of  2:30  over  Fleetwood  Park, 
New  York,  N.  Y.,  in  a  race  which  was  won  by  Lady  Picton.  That 
fall,  W.  H.  Wilson  took  him  to  Cynthiana,  Ky.,  where  he  made 
the  season  of  1874.  He  was  killed  in  a  collision  the  following 
year.  Goldsmith's  Abdallah  got  but  few  foals  in  Kentucky,  Lit- 
tle Miss  2:261/^  and  Lida  Goldsmith,  the  dam  of  Stella  Belmont 
2:19,  being  among  them.  Martha,  the  dam  of  Goldsmith's  Ab- 
dallah, was  almost  a  sister  in  blood  to  Rysdyk's  Hambletonian,  10, 
and  was  foaled  the  same  year  as  that  distinguished  sire.  She  pro- 
duced seven  foals.  Pour  of  her  colts  proved  sires  of  speed,  the  oth- 
ers being  Volunteer  Boy,  John  Bright  and  Dixon's  Ethan  Allen, 
sire  of  Sensation  2:22%,  winner  of  the  $20,000  trot  at  Buffalo  in 
1873.  The  doubling  of  the  Abdallah  and  Bellfounder  lines  in 
Goldsmith's  Abdallah  made  him  well  thought  of  as  a  stock  horse 
in  his  day.     He  made  but  three  or  four  seasons  in  the  stud. 

ABDALLAH  (Spaulding's) ,  ch.  h.  foaled  1840.  Bred  by  John  T.  Fin- 
nan, Jamaica,  Long  Island,  N.  Y.  Sire  Abdallah  1;  dam  by  Star 
Gazer,  son  of  Engineer,  by  imported  Messenger;  2nd  dam  a 
brown  mare  of  unknown  breeding  brought  from  Canada.  This 
horse  was  at  one  time  known  as  Abd-el-Kader.  He  was  owned  by 
A.  Spaulding  of  Greenville,  Ky.,  for  many  years,  and  died  the 
property  of  D.  White,  Yates  City,  111.,  in  October,  1873,  according 
to  the  Breeder's  Trotting  Stud  Book,  while  Wallace  says  he  died 
in  1876.  His  name  appears  in  a  few  of  the  early  Kentucky 
pedigrees. 

ABDALLAH  PILOT  708,  b.  h.  foaled  18  65.  Bred  by  R.  A.  Alex- 
ander, Spring  Station,  Ky.  Sire  Alexander's  Abdallah  15,  son  of 
Hambletonian  10;  dam  Blandina  (dam  of  the  noted  sires  Swigert 
650,  King  Rene  1278  and  Solicitor  1025),  by  Mambrino  Chief  11; 
2nd  dam  Burch  Mare  [dam  of  Rosalind  2:21%,  Donald  2:27, 
Burchwood,  (dam  of  Kingwood  2:25),  and  Springhill,  sire  of 
Careless  2:23%],  by  Brown  Pilot,  son  of  Copperbottom.  Abdal- 
lah Pilot  sired  Pickard  2:18%,  a  high  class  trotter  in  his  day, 
and  Messenger  Chief  (which  see).     He  died  in  1881. 

ABELARD  1846,  br.  h.  foaled  1881.  Bred  by  R.  P.  Pepper,  Frank-

unteer 55);   dam  Alice  Clay,  by  Almont  33;    2nd  dam  Rosa  Clay

(which  see);  3rd  dam  by  Downing's  Bay  Messenger;  4th  dam  by 
Cripple,  son  of  Medoc.  This  horse  was  purchased  as  a  two-year- 
old  by  John  S.  Foote  of  New  York  City. 

ABRAHAM  353,  b.  h.  foaled  18  62.  Name  of  breeder  unknown. 
Was  the  property  of  Benjamin  H.  Baldwin,  Whitehall,  N.  Y., 
when  he  first  attracted  attention  as  a  sire  of  speed.  Sire  Daniel 
Lambert  102  (which  see)  ;  dam  Polly  Cook,  by  Vermont  Black 
Hawk  5;  2nd  dam  Young  Poll,  by  Young  Sir  Charles,  son  of  Sir 
Charles  by  Duroc.  Died  in  1892.  Abraham  sired  six  trotters, 
the  fastest  being  Frank  2:19i/^,  who  with  a  running  mate  made 
a  record  of  2:08%  in  a  race.  None  of  Abraham's  sons  sired 
speed,  but  his  daughters  produced  five  trotters  and  two  pacers, 
the  fastest  being  the  double-gaited  horse  Monopole,  2: 23  14  trot- 
ting and  2:081/^   pacing. 

ADMINISTRATOR  357,  br.  h.  foaled  1863.  Bred  by  Elizah  Wool- 
sey.  New  Paltz,  N.  Y.  Sire  Hambletonian  10;  dam  Dolly  Hal- 
stead,  by  Mambrino  Chief;  2nd  dam  by  Arabian  Tartar;  3rd  dam 
by  Duroc  Messenger.  In  1888,  the  breeding  of  the  dam  of  this 
horse  was  questioned,  it  being  claimed  that  she  was  a  Western 
mare  purchased  out  of  a  load  of  horses.  Z.  T.  Freer  of  New 
Paltz,  N.  Y.,  looked  it  up  and  reported  that  Dolly  Halstead  was 
bred  by  Thomas  Halstead  of  New  Paltz,  N.  Y.  He  stated  that 
Halstead  had  a  mare  by  Seely's  American  Star  14;  that  he  bred 
her  to  Mambrino  Chief,  and  that  Dolly  Halstead  was  the  foal, 
which  he  afterward  broke  for  E.  DuBoise,  a  son-in-law  of  her 
breeder.  The  American  Star  cross  was  never  accepted,  but  the 
pedigree  was  allowed  to  remain  as  given  above.  Geo.  F.  Stevens, 
Ilion.  N.  Y.,  purchased  Administrator  when  he  was  a  young  horse 
and  sent  him  to  Kentucky,  where  he  made  a  time  record  of 
2:291/^  in  1877.  Two  years  later,  he  sold  him  to  Robert  Steele, 
Philadelphia,  Pa.,  for  $2,550.  In  1883,  Steele  sold  him  at  auction, 
in  New  York,  N.  Y.,  to  E.  E.  Frost  of  Worcester,  Mass.,  for  $1,125, 
and  he  in  turn  sold  him,  in  18  8  7,  to  J.  A.  Gourlie  of  Summerside, 
Prince  Edward  Island,  Canada,  where  he  died  in  August,  1892. 
Administrator  sired  sixteen  trotters  of  which  Catchfly  2: 18^4 
was  the  fastest.  Twenty  of  his  sons  sired  forty-one  trotters  and 
nine  pacers,  while  forty-nine  of  his  daughters  produced  sixty-two 
trotters  and  nine  pacers,  the  best  ones  in  the  lot  being  Derby 
Princess  2:08^/^  and  the  well  known  sire  Ashland  Wilkes  2:17^/4; 
sire  of  John  R.  Gentry  2: 00  1/2.

2nd  dam  Black  Maria  (dam  of  Sir  Walter  Scott  286),  by  Long 
Island  Black  Hawk  24.  When  Ashcat  was  purchased  from  Geo. 
B.  Alley  of  New  York,  N.  Y.,  and  taken  to  California  in  18  62  by 
S.  D.  Whipple,  she  was  represented  to  be  out  of  a  mare  by  Seely's 
American  Star  14;    2nd  dam  by  Abdallah  1.     The  pedigree  given 


above  was  established  in  1887.  Ajax  started  in  his  first  race  in 
1869  as  a  five-year-old  (Chester  says  three  but  if  he  is  correct 
there  is  an  error  in  his  Trotting  Register  as  to  the  age  of  the 
horse)  and  made  a  record  of  2: 46 14  that  season  in  a  heat  which 
he  won  from  Venture.  As  a  six-year-old,  he  reduced  his  record 
to  2:45%,  and  finally  made  a  record  of  2:29  at  Oakland,  Cal., 
in  a  race  in  which  he  defeated  Alexander.  Between  18  6  9  and 
1876,  Ajax  started  in  California  in  twenty-eight  races,  of  which 
he  won  ten,  was  second  in  twelve,  third  in  three,  fourth  in  one  and

three-year-old.  He  won  four  events  that  season.  Between  1881 
and  1887,  he  was  started  in  twenty-six  races,  of  which  he  won 
eleven,  Avas  second  in  nine,  third  in  four  and  unplaced  in  two.

in  which  he  defeated  Vanderlynn  at  San  Jose.  J.  B.  Haggin  pur- 
chased Albert  W.  for  the  Rancho  del  Paso  stud  in  18  87,  where  he 
died  in  1897.  Albert  W.  sired  thirteen  trotters  and  eight  pacers, 
while  six  of  his  sons  and  thirteen  of  his  daughters  bred  on.  Little 
Albert  2:10  was  the  best  trotter  and  no  Electioneer  horse  ever

1888,  when  he  was  sold  at  auction  to  D.  G.  Brown,  Chicago.  111., 
for  $650.  He  stood  sixteen  and  one-quarter  hands  and  made  a

sent  him  to  Ohio,  where  he  sired  nine  trotters,  Freddy  2:16% 
being  the  fastest,  and  one  pacer.  Six  of  his  sons  have  bred  on 
and  eight  of  his  daughters  are  speed  producers.  Alert  was  con- 
sidered a  well  bred  horse  in  his  day,  but  there  was  no  speed  pro- 
ducing lines  in  his  dam's  pedigree,  and  he  had  but  very  little 
himself. 

AliEXANDER  490,  b.  h.  foaled  18  64.  Bred  in  California  by  Alex- 
ander Ely.  Sire  George  M.  Patchen  Jr.  31  (which  see)  ;  dam  Lady

Prewitt,  Fayette  County,  Ky.  This  horse  was  also  known  as

was  taken  from  his  fathers'  farm  near  Lexington,  Ky.,  by  a  por- 
tion of  the  command  of  Gen.  Churchill  of  Arkansas.  Churchill 
became  the  owner  of  this  horse  and  he  traded  a  Star  Davis  saddle 
mare  for  him.  Todhunter  was  an  Adjutant  General  in  a  Texas 
Regiment  and  was  wounded  while  riding  this  horse  at  the  battle 
of  Murfreesboro,  Tenn.  He  sent  the  horse  to  Cartersville,  Ga., 
in  care  of  Tom  Hayes.  Hayes  kept  him  there  until  driven  out 
by  Gen.  Sherman.  The  horse  was  then  taken  to  Columbus,  Ga. 
Todhunter  says  he  sold  him  for  $500  and  that  after  the  war  he  saw 
him  in  a  show  ring  at  Sedalia,  Mo.  At  that  time  he  offered  $1,000 
for  him.  He  also  said  he  saw  the  horse  later  when  Prewitt  and 
Jones  had  him  in  Kentucky  and  called  him  Ashland  Chief.  Ash- 
land Chief  sired  three  trotters,  one  of  them  being  that  good  race 
horse  Black  Cloud  2:17i/i  (which  see).  Two  of  his  sons  sired

sold  to  the  parties  in  St.  Louis  this  horse  trotted  a  mile  in  2:25.

year-old  at  Louisville,  Ky.,  and  won  in  2:51.  He  also  won  at 
Louisville  as  a  four-year-old  in  2:42%.  Wallace  says  he  made 
SL  record  of  2:31%  as  a  five-year-old  but  fails  to  state  where  or 
Avhen  and  it  does  not  appear  in  Chester.  Chester  credits  him 
with  a  record  of  2:40%  which  he  made  in  a  race  tliat  he  won 
at  Springfield,  Ohio,  in  1873.  Bayard  sired  nine  trotters  and  six

of  his  sons  sired  ten  trotters  and  fifteen  pacers,  while  mares  by

BAY  CHIEF  (Alexander's),  b.  s.  foaled  1859.  Bred  by  Richard 
Johnson,  White  Sulphur,  Ky.  Sire  Mambrino  Chief  11;  dam 
Keokuk,  breeding  unknown.  This  horse  appears  in  Volume  1  of 
the  American  Trotting  Register  as  being  out  of  a  mare  by  Keo- 
kuk, son  of  Truffle;  2nd  dam  by  Stamboul  (Arabian).  This  was 
taken  out  of  the  Woodburn  Farm  catalogue  and  was  accepted 
as  correct  as  well  as  the  fact  that  he  was  bred  by  R.  A.  Alexander. 
In  1885,  Wallace  learned  that  Keokuk  was  one  of  a  pair  of  mares 
that  Richard  Johnson  purchased  in  Keokuk,  Iowa,  and  took  to 
Scott  County,  Kentucky,  that  he  did  not  know  her  breeding  and 
that  he  also  bred  her  to  Mambrino  Chief  in  185  8  and  in  185  9  she 
produced  the  bald  faced  colt  known  as  Bay  Chief.  In  18  62  he 
bred  this  colt  to  sixteen  or  eighteen  mares  and  sold  him  that  fall, 
at  public  auction,  to  R.  A.  Alexander  for  $1,000.  After  being 
shipped  to  Woodburn  Farm,  Bay  Chief  trotted  a  half-mile  in  1:08, 

13 


and  repeated  in  1:08  V^,  which  was  a  wonderful  performance  for 
a  four-year-old  at  that  date  and  made  him  the  most  talked  of  trot- 
ter in  Kentucky.  Bay  Chief  never  covered  any  mares  at  Wood- 
burn  Farm  but  was  kept  in  training  and  was  still  there  when  on 
the  morning  of  February  2.  18  65,  a  guerilla  band  led  by  Marion 
raided  the  farm  and  with  other  horses  took  Bay  Chief  and  Alex- 
ander's Abdallah.  They  were  pursued  by  federal  soldiers,  and  in 
the  fight.  Bay  Chief  was  shot  in  four  places  and  died  from  the 
wounds.  He  was  no  doubt  the  most  sensational  trotter  of  the 
Mambrino  Chief  family.  Of  the  few  foals  which  Bay  Chief  got 
in  Scott  County,  Bayadere  produced  Lady  McFatridge  2:28  and 
Madam  Powell,  the  good  trotter  Monroe  Chief  2:18%,  while  two 
of  his  sons  sired  speed  and  Steven's  Bald  Chief,  another  son,  sired 
the  celebrated  brood  mare  Minnehaha,  as  well  as  Overland  and 
Atlantic  Chief,  both  sires  of  speed.

Jim  Porter  2:281/2   and  Tom  Redd  2:461/2.

traced.  All  that  is  known  of  the  horse  is  that  he  was  got  by 
Hambletonian  10,  and  that  he  was  the  sire  of  Fritz  2:27i/^,  as 
well  as  the  dams  of  St.  Cloud  2:21  and  Brockport  2:241/4.

Trotting   Register   and   Chester,   however,   the   dam   of   Kentucky

Chester  states  that  A.  H    Brand,  who  was  the  breeder  of  Brignoli, 


started  Kentucky  Chief  as  Louisville  as  a  three-year-old,  while 
Sally  Woodford  is  not  reported  as  having  a  foal  to  1856,  the  year

BROKEN  LKGGED  KENTUCKY  HUNTER,  -  h,  foaled  1843.  Bred 
by  Elizah  Howe,  Brookfield,  N.  Y.  Sire  Chestnut  Kentucky 
Hunter,  sou  of  Kentucky  Hunter  (which  see)  ;  dam  a  chestnut 
mare,  breeding  unknown.  Her  dam  was  a  roan  mare,  that  was 
brought  from  Ohio  to  Brookfield,  N.  Y.,  in  1823  or  1824.  She  had 
run  in  the  woods  the  previous  summer  and  proved  to  be  in  foal. 
She  produced  a  chestnut  filly,  which  Elizah  Howe  purchased. 
He  kept  her  in  the  family  until  she  was  an  old  mare,  when  he 
sold  her  to  a  man  named  Brown,  of  Augusta,  Oneida  County,  X.  Y. 
This  mare  produced  Broken  Legged  Kentucky  Hunter  when  she 
was  nineteen  years  old.  When  two  years  old  the  colt  broke  a 
leg,  near  the  ankle,  while  being  led  by  the  halter.  This  mishap 
supplied  him  with  a  name.  Chestnut  Kentucky  Hunter  was  foaled 
in  183  8  or  183  9.  His  dam  was  by  Bay  Duroc,  a  horse  that  was 
taken  from  Connecticut  to  Northern  New  York,  and  from  there  to 
Madison  County,  N.  Y.  The  information  in  regard  to  this  horse 
was  secured  in  18  83  by  L.  M.  Jones,  Lucasville,  N.  Y.,  from  Elizah 
Howe,  who  was  then  eighty  years  old.  (See  Wallace's  Monthly, 
March  1885).

doing  made  him  the  champion  trotting  stallion  of  the  world,  he 
said  that  Fearnought  was  a  very  unsteady  horse  when  he  began 
training  him  and  would  not  remain  on  a  trot  when  another  horse 
was  near  him.  He  used  all  kinds  of  blinds  on  him,  stuffed  his 
ears  with  cotton  and  put  on  a  hood.  Finally  he  made  a  pair  of 
blinders  with  crescent  shaped  holes  in  same  so  that  he  could  only- 
see  straight  ahead.  The  horse  did  very  well  in  the  rig  but  would 
make  breaks  and  did  make  one  in  each  quarter  of  the  mile  in 
which  he  made  his  record.  While  being  raced  Fearnought  started 
in  fourteen  races  of  which  he  won  seven  and  was  second  in  seven.

that  in  1834  Lathrop  Brockway,  Clinton,  N.  Y.,  bred  a  sorrel  mare 
to  Old  Henry  and  got  a  chestnut  colt  that  was  called  Young  Henry.

NORTH  AMERICAN,  —  h.  foaled  183 — .  Bred  by  a  Frenchman, 
name  unknown,  on  Grand  Isle,  N.  Y.  In  the  first  volume  of  the 
Trotting  Register,  this  horse  was  reported  as  by  Sir  Walter,  dam 
a  fast  pacing  mare.  In  1880,  however,  Wallace  learned,  from  a 
Mr.  Ladd,  who  lived  at  Rouse's  Point,  N.  Y.,  and  at  one  time  kept 
a  hotel  at  Benson's  Landing  on  Lake  Champlain,  that  the  dam 
of  North  American  was  a  little  pacing  mare  owned  by  a  French- 
man. The  Frenchman  wanted  to  raise  a  foal  from  her,  but  would 
not  pay  more  than  three  dollars  for  any  horse's  service.  Sir 
Walter's  fee  was  fifteen  dollars,  so  he  did  not  use  him,  but  bred 

70

to  haul  water  from  the  lake  to  the  hotel.  North  American  sired

HISTORY  OF  THE  DAM  OF 


GEORGE  WILKES 


BY 


J.  W.  DAY 


REPRODUCED  FROM  A  PAMPHLET  PUBLISHED  L\  1912 


INTRODUCTORY 


I  have  known  this  history  of  the  dam  of  George  Wilkes  ever 
since  the  Civil  War,  but,  at  the  time  John  P.  Ray  started  his  war- 
fare upon  the  breeding  of  the  mare,  years  after  Wallace,  Captain 
Lewis,  Joshua  Phillips  and  nearly  all  the  parties  interested  were 
dead,  I  had  no  idea  that  the  history  he  gave  me  of  his  proof  would 
amount  to  anything  as  it  was  so  trivial,  and  therefore  paid  no  at- 
tention to  it.  Many  articles  that  have  been  written  and  published, 
finally  stirred  me  to  write  these  letters  and  furnish  the  proof  that 
I  hereby  publish. 

I  had  no  intention  at  first  of  putting  it  in  this  condensed  form, 
but,  meeting  John  E.  Madden  at  Cleveland,  he  very  enthusiastically 
thanked  me  for  the  articles  as  he  had  read  them  and  also  congratu- 
lated me  by  telling  me  I  was  getting  to  be  an  old  man  and  that  this 
proof  ought  to  be  placed  in  form  to  be  preserved,  and  stated  that  if 
I  would  place  them  in  condensed  form  he  would  be  glad  to  pay  for 
two  thousand  copies  if  I  would  do  the  work.  I  have  therefore  com- 
plied with  his  request. 


Rochester,  N.  Y.,  Jan.   19,  1912. 
Editor  American  Horse  Breeder:  — 

I  am  going  to  bother  you  once  more.  I  read  Dr.  Holt's  article 
about  George  Wilkes  and  Electioneer,  in  the  Christmas  Breeder.  I 
am  not  a  partisan  on  either  side,  but  Dr.  Holt's  statement  that  the 
dam  of  George  Wilkes  was  of  questionable  breeding  brings  back  to 
me  all  the  old  memories  of  that  outrageous  proceeding  against  the 
Clay  family,  and  the  attempt  to  rob  the  family  of  Clays  of  the  credit 
of  producing  the  dam  of  the  great  George  Wilkes. 

Now  friend  Parlin,  you  know  I  was  always  a  friend  to  the  Clays 
but  never  was  so  strong  a  partisan  as  to  wish  George  Wilkes'  dam 
to  be  credited  to  the  Clay  family  unless  it  was  true.  I  think  I  have 
written  you  once  before  something  in  regard  to  my  views,  but  not 
the  facts  in  this  matter.  I  am  going  to  give  them  to  you  more  fully. 
Now  for  the  facts  which  I  do  know  are  right. 

First,  I  persuaded  my  father,  a  Methodist  minister,  in  185  6  to 
buy  a  three-year-old  gray  mare  that  was  owned  seven  or  eight  miles 
from  Geneva  where  Captain  Lewis,  as  that  is  the  name  he  went  by 
when  I  was  a  boy,  lived.  This  mare  I  bought  was  sired  by  Dey's 
Messenger,  he  by  Liberty,  a  grandson  of  Imported  Messenger,  and 
the  dam  of  Dey's  Messenger  was  a  daughter  of  imported  Messenger. 
My  father  purchased  her  for  me  for  one  hundred  dollars,  unbroken. 
I  remember  very  well,  for  my  father,  being  a  Methodist  minister 
moving  every  year  or  two,  was  appointed  that  year  to  Canoga,  twelve 
miles  from  Geneva,  to  preach,  and  it  was  the  year  Buchannan  and 
Eremont  ran  for  President.  My  father  considered  me  a  great  judge 
of  horses  if  only  eleven  years  old,  for  he  trusted  any  horse  in  my 
care  after  I  was  seven  years  old,  but,  I  think  I  was  a  born  horseman, 
at  least  a  lover  of  horses.  I  drove  this  mare  to  Geneva  when  I  had 
her  well  broken  and  showed  her  to  Captain  Lewis  and  John  Dey,  as 
it  was  a  relative  of  John  Dey  who  owned  Dey's  Messenger.  John 
Dey  was  the  right  hand  man  of  Cobb  and  Lewis  when  they  were  in 
the  wool  and  produce  business  and  I  knew  both  well  from  that  time 
lip  to  their  deaths. 

I  drove  this  Messenger  mare  for  three  years  on  the  road  with 
and  without  my  father,  when  without  father,  I  stepped  her  some.  I 
begged  father  to  allow  me  to  take  her  to  the  county  fair  to  show  for 
a  premium.  He  consented.  She  got  the  first  premium  all  right,  but 
something  else  happened  that  father  did  not  expect.  There  were  trot- 
ting races  at  the  county  fair  besides  the  show  of  pumpkins.  I  en- 
tered the  mare  in  the  three  minute  class,  borrowing  an  old  spring 
road  sulky  weighing  about  one  hundred  and  twenty-five  pounds,  and 
I  won  the  race.  It  was  the  first  time  she  had  ever  been  on  the  track 
and  the  time  was  a  little  better  than  three  minutes. 

Some  of  the  neighbors  got  home  before  I  did  and  father  had 
the  news.  He  gave  me  just  time  enough  at  the  barn  to  take  good 
care  of  the  mare  and  then  something  else  happened  that  I  have  never 
forgotten.  Father,  of  course,  was  disgraced  and  the  result  was  the 
mare  was  sold  in  a  very  short  time  for  $600.00.     I  don't  know  in  just 


what  form  the  money  was  paid,  for  I  never  saw  the  color  of  it,  for 
it  was  the  old  story  of  the  boy's  colt  and  dad's  horse,  but  as  I  com- 
mitted such  a  disgraceful  act,  and  as  father  promised  me  he  would 
use  the  money  to  send  me  through  college,  I  was  content. 

This  was  the  first  trotter  I  had  ever  driven  in  a  race,  and  I  be- 
came the  hero  as  a  boy  horseman  in  the  eyes  of  some  and  especially 
in  those  of  John  Dey,  Cobb  and  Lewis,  as  John  Dey  saw  the  per- 
formance. I  write  the  above  to  explain  to  you  the  reasons  why  I  have 
always  believed  and  had  opportunities  to  know  the  breeding  of  the 
dam  of  George  Wilkes.  I  met  both  Lewis  and  Dey  year  after  year 
and  talked  over  the  Wilkes  matter  with  them  time  and  time  again. 

I  enlisted  in  the  Civil  M"ar  in  1861  but  was  thrown  out  of  the 
regiment  on  inspection  day  on  account  of  my  youth.  I  enlisted  again 
in  18  62  and  passed  inspection.  You  can  well  understand  that  I  had 
something  to  do  and  think  about  besides  horses  until  1865,  when  I 
was  discharged.  Very  soon  after  I  got  home  from  the  war  I  bought 
a  little  bay  mare.  I  called  her  Toot.  The  guy  that  sold  her  to  me 
told  me  she  was  sixteen  years  old.  She  was  a  trotter  in  those  days 
all  the  same.  I  entered  her  in  a  race,  in  the  three  minute  class,  at 
Ovid,  Seneca  Co.,  N.  Y.,  in  1866,  and  won  the  race  in  2:52,  the  same 
day  that  Maid  of  Clay,  by  Henry  Clay,  got  a  record  of  2:40,  and  was 
afterwards  sold  by  Cobb  and  Lewis  to  Gov.  Stanford  to  be  bred  to 
Electioneer. 

After  the  races  that  night,  I  rode  to  Geneva  with  John  Dey  and 
Cobb.  I  learned  from  them  that  my  old  Toot  had  been  owned  in 
Waterloo,  Seneca  Co.,  for  many  years  by  the  great  old  breeder,  Mr. 
Wright,  and  that  she  was  twenty-six  years  old  then.  She  had  a  colt 
by  George  M.  Patchen  that  was  a  very  fast  horse.  That  colt  proved 
to  be  my  old  stallion,  Seneca  Patchen,  as  I  afterwards  discovered. 
You  can  see.  Friend  Parlin,  that  sentiment  came  in  again  so  much 
that  in  after  years  I  bought  old  Seneca  Patchen  because  he  was  by 
George  M.  Patchen  and  out  of  my  old  trotter  Toot.  Old  man  Wal- 
lace called  me  a  fool  and  said  I  was  crazy  for  buying  an  old  stallion 
for  six  hundred  dollars  when  he  was  seventeen  years  old  and  with- 
out having  sired  a  trotter,  but  I  am  diverging.  You  know  the  story 
of  old  Seneca  Patchen  and  what  he  did  for  me  without  my  repeat- 
ing it. 

When  we  reached  Geneva  that  evening  we  spent  the  time  until 
midnight  talking  about  the  horses,  and  I  am  positive  as  I  live  that 
John  Dey  then  told  me  about  the  dam  of  George  Wilkes  being  a  Clay, 
as  we  were  discussing  the  Clay  family.  I  know  surely,  that  that  pedi- 
gree had  been  looked  up  as  early  as  that,  at  least,  and  it  may  have 
been  as  early  as  5  9  or  60  before  I  went  to  the  War,  but,  if  it  was 
that  early  I  did  not  hear  about  it  until  I  came  back  from  the  War. 
I  do  know  that  Captain  Lewis,  very  soon  after  John  Dey  had  told  me 
the  dam  of  George  Wilkes  was  a  Clay,  told  me  the  whole  story  about 
the  mare,  and  that  Harry  Felter  had  asked  him  to  secure  the  breed- 
ing and  that  he  sent  John  Dey  to  Bristol  to  do  so,  and  ever  after- 
wards during  his  lifetime  Captain  Lewis  reiterated  that  statement, 
to  me. 


I  sold  them  a  mare,  four  years  old,  by  Gooding's  Champion,  in 
the  Fall  of  1S70,  eight  years  before  Wallace  writes  about.  I  drove 
her  second  in  a  race  in  Canandaigua  after  I  bought  her  unbroken  for 
one  hundred  and  fifty  dollars.  I  broke  her,  trained  her  and  raced  her 
in  this  race  in  less  than  ninety  days  time;  sold  her  to  Cobb  and  Lewis 
through  John  Dey  as  Cobb  and  Dey  both  saw  me  drive  her  in  that 
race.  I  sold  her  to  them  that  night  for  eight  hundred  dollars.  I 
called  her  Gypsy  Girl.  I  bought  her  in  partnership  with  the  late 
Senator  John  Raines;  he  furnished  the  money  and  I  did  the  work  and 
we  divided.  I  used  my  half  to  carry  me  through  my  last  year  in  the 
old  Hobart  Medical  College  in  Geneva. 

They  trained  her  the  next  year  and  changed  her  name.  They 
then  sold  her  to  Mat  Tanner,  a  great  horseman  in  those  days,  of 
Albany,  N.  Y.  She  got  a  record,  I  think  of  twenty-seven  or  eight 
and  during  these  two  years,  1869  and  70,  my  rooms,  when  I  went 
to  College  at  Geneva,  were  within  two  blocks  of  Cobb  and  Lewis' 
office  and  I  saw  them  nearly  every  day.  This  all  settles  the  date  to 
me  of  when  Lewis  and  Dey  looked  up  the  pedigree  of  the  dam  of 
George  Wilkes,  for  that  had  all  been  done  long  before  this  matter 
of  Wallace's  in  '77  or  '78,  for  that  is  all  bosh  so  far  as  that  being 
the  date  or  knowledge  of  her  pedigree  being  learned,  but  it  only  con- 
firms what  we  all  knew  long  before. 

In  187  5,  I  moved  to  Waterloo,  where  my  old  farm  was  for  so 
many  years,  and  lived  there  twenty-five  years,  seven  miles  from 
Geneva.  I  knew  every  horse  that  was  of  racing  caliber,  that  Dey, 
Cobb  and  Lewis  had  during  all  those  years  and  knew  them  all  up 
to  their  deaths. 

Captain  Lewis  was  not  a  race  horse  man,  ever.  He  had  the 
money  but  was  a  strictly  moral  and  religious  man.  He  loved  horses 
but  he  did  not  wish  to  race  them  and  never  gambled.  John  Dey 
was  their  horseman  and  Cobb  was  the  inspiration  of  all  the  trotting 
horse  deals,  and  the  last  trotting  horse  or  mare  that  Cobb  owned 
before  he  died,  he  bred  to  one  of  my  stallions.  Captain  Lewis  for 
several  years  before  he  died  refused  to  have  anything  to  do  with 
trotters  even  when  Cobb  and  Dey  had  them. 

The  whole  trouble  and  dispute  in  this  matter  was  caused  by  the 
bad  memory  of  Clark  Phillips,  thirty  years  afterwards,  that  he 
thought  Bailey  owned  Henry  Clay  when  he  bred  the  Highlander 
mare  to  him.  No  proof,  nothing  but  bad  memory.  It  was  a  mighty 
slim  argument  against  a  pedigree  that  had  been  established  many 
years   before. 

Leonard  Gooding  married  my  wife's  sister  in  the  spring  of  1868, 
and  visited  us  on  their  wedding  trip.  Leonard  Gooding  was  born  and 
lived  all  his  life  on  the  Homestead  Farm  in  Bristol  Center,  N.  Y. 
He  was  a  great  lover  of  horses  and  bred  a  good  many  colts  and 
knew  the  history  of  all  the  breeding  interests  of  Bristol,  N.  Y.,  as 
well  as  any  resident  there.  In  the  summer  and  fall  of  1868  I  visited 
him  at  Bristol  several  times.  He  had  at  that  time  two  black  stal- 
lions, one  he  told  me  was  about  20  or  21  years  old,  the  other  eight 


or  ten  years  younger.  He  told  me  that  the  older  one  was  bred  the 
first  year  that  Henry  Clay  stood  in  Bristol.  He  told  me  also  at  that 
time,  that  he  knew  the  dam  of  George  Wilkes,  as  he  was  well  ac- 
quainted with  all  of  the  Phillips'  and  that  the  dam  of  George  Wilkes 
was  bred  the  same  year  that  his  oldest  stallion  was. 

As  Lewis  and  Dey  had  already  told  me  this  story  you  will  under- 
stand that  to  me,  this  was  one  of  the  best  proofs  that  I  had  for 
believing  the  facts  as  I  have  written  them.  Another  point.  Captain 
Lewis  told  me  repeatedly  that  the  mare  that  he  sold  and  afterwards 
became  the  dam  of  George  Wilkes  had  no  name  that  he  knew  of 
when  he  sold  her,  but,  afterwards  was  named  Dolly  Spanker.  I  am 
satisfied  that  the  breeding  of  the  dam  of  George  Wilkes  was  all 
established  before  she  died,  if  not,  why  did  Captain  Lewis  go  to  the 
Felter  Farm  to  see  her  and  identify  her,  as  he  told  me  he  did? 

I  knew  John  P.  Ray  intimately  for  thirty  years  before  he  died 
and  he  looked  up  that  pedigree  as  he  told  me  many  times  at  the 
time  Wallace  was  investigating  it,  and  he  told  me  many  times  that 
the  pedigree  was  firmly  established  that  the  dam  of  George  Wilkes 
was  by  Henry  Clay.  After  this  last  story  got  started  about  who 
owned  Henry  Clay  when  Phillips  bred  the  Highlander  mare,  Ray 
heard  of  it  and  started  in  this  last  investigation  all  on  the  memory 
of  a  man,  forty  years  after  he  had  bred  a  mare,  about  who  owned 
the  stallion  at  the  time  he  bred.  Mighty  slim  evidence,  my  way  of 
thinking,  to  break  up  a  well  established  pedigree  that  had  been  un- 
contradicted for  forty  years. 

I  treated  John  P.  Ray  professionally  for  two  or  three  mouths, 
soon  after  he  had,  in  his  own  mind,  proved  that  the  Phillips  mare 
had  been  bred  too  late  to  be  the  dam  of  George  Wilkes.  He  and  I 
had  several  warm  arguments  over  the  matter.  We  closed  the  argu- 
ment by  my  telling  him  that  while  I  had  confidence  in  him  as  a 
man,  from  all  the  facts  that  I  had  stated  to  him  as  I  have  to  you, 
and  the  full  knowledge  I  had  of  the  matter,  that  I  would  not  believe 
his  story  if  he  and  all  the  people  he  had  interviewed  would  swear  to 
it  on  a  stack  of  bibles. 


CAPT.    J.    S.    LKWIS'    LAST    STATEMENT. 


I  secured  yesterday  a  letter  from  Stewart  L.  Purdy,  of  Geneva, 
N.  Y.,  the  nephew  of  Captain  Joseph  Lewis.  I  think  this  is  the  last 
clinch  of  the  testimony,  in  the  proof  of  the  dam  of  George  Wilkes. 
He  tells  me  also,  that  he  is  the  only  near  relative  of  Captain  Lewis. 
Captain  Lewis  was  a  bachelor,  and  this  Stewart  L.  Purdy  is  the  only 
nephew,  and  there  are  no  nieces.  Mr.  Purdy  is  the  nearest  living 
relative,  and  he  was  with  his  uncle  more  or  less  all  his  life,  and  knew 
all  about  the  horse  interests  and  every  other  interest  of  Captain 
Lewis.  He  saw  Henry  Clay  himself  when  eight  years  old  and  knew 
the  breeding  of  the  mare.  He  is  now  sixty-five  years  old  and  had 
a  right,  as  well  as  I,  to  know  all  those  facts,  as  I  did;  and  this  tes- 
timony from  him  does  away  with  any  of  those  statements  of  veracity 
of  his  uncle  about  the  pedigree.  I  met  Stewart  L.  Purdy  myself  and 
became  well  acquainted  with  him  in  18  66,  and  have  known  him  ever 
since.  I  met  him  many  times  in  his  uncle's  office  and  on  his  farm, 
eight  miles  out  of  Geneva. 

The  point  that  he  makes  about  the  price  of  the  service  fee  being 
a  strong  factor  in  this  case,  I  know  to  be  right.  I  have  another 
brother-in-law  living  in  Bristol,  who  was  born  there  and  has  always 
lived  there  on  a  farm  within  two  miles  of  Joshua  Phillips.  He  is  not 
a  horseman,  but  he  has  heard  of  these  facts  that  I  have  presented, 
and  was  a  great  friend  of  Leonard  Gooding,  as  we  all  married 
sisters,  and  knew  all  about  his  stallions  by  Henry  Clay.  He  tells 
me  that  several  old  men,  that  were  breeders  to  Henry  Clay,  reports 
that  if  the  fee  was  only  five  dollars,  as  Phillips  claimed  it  was 
when  he  bred  to  Henry  Clay,  it  certainly  was  when  he  was  first 
there,  because  when  he  was  bought  and  brought  back  eight  or  nine 
years  later,  the  fee  was  much  larger  for  those  days.  As  the  colts 
were  showing  so  much  speed,  everybody  wanted  to  breed  to  him, 
and  that  was  the  very  reason  he  was  brought  back. 

Mr.  Purdy  says  that  he  told  Huntington  of  Captain  Lewis' 
statement  made  but  a  short  time  before  his  death,  and  does  not  see 
why  Huntington  should  have  said  he  was  Capt.  Lewis'  son,  yet 
Huntington  made  a  lot  of  blunders  worse  than  that,  and  hurt  the 
Clay  family  more  than  any  other  man;  but,  with  John  P.  Ray,  it  was 
simply  a  case  of  prejudice,  as  he  was  no  horse  breeder  and  never 
bred  a  trotter  in  his  life  nor  bred  a  mare  to  anybody's  horse  unless 
the  service  was  given  to  him.  He  wouldn't  have  bred  a  mare  to 
Seneca  Patchen  even  if  I  had  given  it  to  him,  he  was  so  prejudiced 
against  the  Clays;  but,  he  gave  my  horse,  Kaiser,  by  George  Wilkes, 
first  premium  as  a  judge  and  begged  me  for  a  colt  service  fee.  I 
declined,  although  we  were  good  friends,  but,  his  prejudice  was  too 
strong  for  his  judgment. 

Now  there  never  was  a  stronger  case  of  absolute  proof  that  the 
dam  of  George  Wilkes  was  this  Clay  mare  and  foaled  about  184  7 
and  there  has  no  proof  ever  been  furnished  of  any  real  weight  to 
change  that  pedigree  as  recorded  by  Wallace.  I  think  this  testimony 
ought  to  satisfy  everyone  who  wishes  to  know  the  facts. 


STEWART  L.   PURDY'S   STATEMENT. 


Geneva,  N.  Y.,  Aug.  30th,  '12. 
Dear  Doctor  Day:  — 

Your  letter  of  inquiry  as  to  my  knowledge  in  regard  to  the  facts 
of  the  breeding  of  the  dam  of  George  Wilkes,  received.  I  am  65 
years  old,  as  I  was  born  in  1847.  Joseph  S.  Lewis,  who  bought  the 
mare  afterwards  called  Dolly  Spanker,  and  proved  to  be  the  dam  of 
George  Wilkes,  was  my  uncle  and  I  was  his  only  nephew.  I  have 
always  been  engaged  in  the  breeding  of  horses  and  the  horse  in- 
terest, and  have  kept  a  diary  for  a  great  many  years.  I  know  all  the 
facts  in  regard  to  the  buying  of  this  mare  by  my  uncle  and  his  sell- 
ing her  to  Mr.  Delevan.  After  ^Ir.  Felter  bred  the  mare  to  Rysdyk's 
Hambletonian  he  naturally  wanted  to  know  the  pedigree  of  the 
mare.  My  uncle  often  told  me  that  he  went  to  New  York,  and  to 
the  Felter  farm  to  identify  the  mare.  Felter  wanted  to  know  the 
pedigree  and  I  know  from  my  uncle's  statement  to  me  that  Mr.  Gil- 
bert told  my  uncle,  as  he  often  stated,  that  he  bought  the  mare  of 
Joshua  Phillips  of  Bristol,  and  my  uncle  told  me  that  he  sent  John 
Dey  to  Bristol  to  ascertain  the  facts  in  regard  to  her  breeding. 

John  Dey  was  a  wool  buyer  and  horse  buyer  for  my  uncle  al- 
ways, and  he  told  me  the  same  facts  many  times.  There  was  a 
strong  prejudice  in  those  days  against  the  Clay  blood,  especially 
after  Mr.  Bonner  declared  that  the  Clay  blood  in  a  trotter  was  as 
bad  as  sawdust  in  his  oats.  I  know  from  my  uncle's  talk  that 
Felter  and  the  owners  of  George  Wilkes  did  not  care  to  have  that 
pedigree  with  a  Clay  cross  in  it  publicly  known.  There  was  no  one 
in  Geneva  or  that  territory  that  ever  made  any  other  claim  for  her 
sire,  or  doubted  that  said  mare  was  by  the  Wadsworth  Henry  Clay. 

Nelson  Thompson  of  Penn  Yan,  was  a  partner  of  my  uncle  for 
years  in  the  stage  business  from  Penn  Yan  to  Geneva,  and  the  said 
Thompson  bought  Henry  Clay  after  he  had  first  stood  in  Bristol  a 
year  or  two.  The  horse  was  afterwards  sold  and  went  back  to  Bris- 
tol. The  statement  in  the  affidavit  of  Phillips  that  he  paid  five  dol- 
lars for  the  service  fee,  proves  conclusively  that  it  must  have  been 
when  Henry  Clay  first  stood  in  Bristol,  for  I  knew  that  when  he 
went  back  to  Bristol  eight  or  nine  years  later  that  his  fee  was 
fifteen  dollars.  This  fact  my  uncle  and  John  Dey  and  ^Nlr.  Thompson 
told  me  many  times. 

Now  as  to  the  report  that  my  uncle  ever  stated  that  he  might 
have  been  mistaken  or  that  he  did  not  say  much  about  the  dam  of 
George  Wilkes,  I  know  to  be  false.  On  my  birthday,  Feb.  13th,  1896, 
my  wife  and  I  visited  my  uncle  and  he  asked  me  to  walk  down  to 
the  office  with  him  after  dinner.  He  then  said  to  me  that  there  had 
been  a  great  howl  about  the  pedigree  of  the  dam  of  George  Wilkes, 
but  that  he  knew  what  he  was  talking  about.  He  stated  that  he  had 
seen  his  mare,  Dolly  Spanker,  at  the  Felter  farm  and  that  she  was 
the  same  mare  that  he  bought  of  Gilbert,  and  Gilbert  told  him  he 
bought  her  of  Joshua  Phillips,  and  my  uncle  said  that  he  sent  John 

136 


Dey  to  Phillips  to  learn  her  breeding,  and  he  knew  it  was  true, 
and  that  he  had  never  made  any  other  statement.  He  stamped  his 
cane  upon  the  floor  in  the  ofiice  and  Very  earnestly  said  that  there 
was  a  fool  born  every  minute,  but,  they  could  not  change  the  pedi- 
gree of  that  mare.  My  uncle  died  June  18th,  that  same  year,  1896, 
and  his  memory  was  as  clear  as  it  always  had  been,  up  to  the  very 
last.  John  Dey  told  me  this  same  story  all  his  life.  I  knew  him  up 
to  the  time  of  his  death,  and  he  always  reiterated  all  these  state- 
ments. My  uncle  thought  a  good  deal  of  John  Dey  all  his  life  and 
paid  his  funeral  expenses  when  he  did,  four  or  five  years  before  my 
uncle  died. 

I  read  your  letters  in  the  American  Horse  Breeder  and  you 
were  perfectly  right  in  your  statements,  and  I  have  known  you. 
Doctor,  ever  since  1866,  right  after  the  war,  and  I  know  that  you 
have  had  every  facility  to  know  these  facts  and  that  j'ou  knew  my 
uncle  well  all  these  years.  I  am  glad  to  help  you  with  these  few 
facts  which  are  well  known  to  me.
